Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

The Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) on Fatigue in Haemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Introduction: Fatigue is one of the most common symptom in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving haemodialysis treatment. In recent years, researchers investigated the role of alternative medicine methods such as acupuncture in treatment ...

Renal Parenchymal Area and Kidney Collagen Content [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The extent of renal scarring in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can only be ascertained by highly invasive, painful and sometimes risky tissue biopsy. Interestingly, CKD-related abnormalities in kidney size can often be visualized using ultrasound. Nevertheless, not only does the ellipsoid formula used today underestimate true renal size but also the ...

Evaluation of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose: To evaluate the performance of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in optical coherence tomography (OCT) data using a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort. Methods: We assessed 22 donors and 23 patients requiring renal transplantation over up to 1 year post-transplant.

Arterial stiffening and vascular calcifications in end-stage renal disease.
Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation, 2000 BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have identified aortic stiffness as an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. In these patients, aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) was associated with mediacalcosis,

Development of 4T1 breast cancer mouse model system for preclinical carbonic anhydrase IX studies
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a well‐recognised therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker in cancer. We developed and characterised a robust murine breast cancer model system that is suitable for CAIX studies in vitro and in vivo—it comprises both CAIX‐positive and CAIX‐negative controls and provides a solid platform for the comprehensive ...

Inference and Prediction Using Functional Principal Components Analysis: Application to Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Repeated longitudinal measurements are commonly used to model long-term disease progression, and timing and number of assessments per patient may vary, leading to irregularly spaced and sparse data. Longitudinal trajectories may exhibit curvilinear patterns, in which mixed linear regression methods may fail to capture true trends in the data.

Home‐Based Tele‐tDCS in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Feasibility, Safety, and Preliminary Efficacy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise as a neuromodulatory intervention in various neurological disorders, but its application in ALS, particularly in a remote, home‐based format, remains underexplored.
